Model: Princess 2200
Year: 1979
Mileage: 65k
Tax: None
MOT: None
Location: Birmingham (Near NEC)
Price: £150
Additional Information:
I acquired this car about a month ago to put back on the road but a change in commitments mean that in the past month I have had about 2 hours to put into it.
It had been sat under cover for 2 years when I got it, it was covered in slime and full of spiders :-). I have since given the outside a clean and its not too bad more info below. The interior is great apart from a little fading on drivers door, everything appears to work too.
If there are no takers it may end up on ebay soon as it completely fills my garage.
Body :- Sills are fine, have been plated but are solid. Floors appear to be all original and very solid indeed, under the bonnet very solid. One wing has a dent (could be pulled out) where something dropped on it, the other wing is bubbly. It may be saveable not sure. The passenger rear door has a hole on the bottom and the underside of the front valance will need a plate.
Interior :- Apart from the little fading and minor sag on the headlining is spot on everything appears to work.
Running gear :- At the moment I haven't had it running. The battery is dead but with jump leads it will turn freely. I have put fresh petrol in and it is getting through. Next job was to clean the plugs up as they need it. Believe that the brake system was overhauled prior to laying up . One tyre has a leaky valve and struggles to hold air, I will try and get the spare on it if I can get it out of my garage.
I think with a service it may pass an MOT as non of the body issues above are structural. Hopefully someone with a little time can put this old girl back on the road.
Any Q's please ask.
Cheers Karl
